Debi Prasad Sen's Review On National Institute Of Technology - [NIT], Rourkela

* As per my ranks in JEE Mains, Electrical Engineering in NIT Rourkela was the best course I could have got * I had heard about the reputation of this College from my School Seniors i.e. about its Faculties, Hostels, Extra-Curricular Activities and most importantly about the placements in NIT Rourkela * I had always loved the basics of Electricity that we were taught in our Intermediate, which led me to chose Electrical Engineering.

Our Courses are well updated as per the recent requirements that are needed in the Industrial and Research field. Recently in 2017, The Course structure was changed, Some Subjects credits were reduced. We are given Industry Exposure in the 3rd Year of our Graduation. We give many visits to SAIL ( Steel Plant), Rourkela as a part of the subjects that we are taught during that period. It helps us to know how we implement these We have many strict faculties over here in the Electrical Department. Among many, I find Prof. Anup Kumar Panda and Prof. Pravat Ray as very good professors. They are quite student-friendly. In my first year, when we had common classes for all departments, I came across one Maths Professor, Dr. Suchandan Kayal. He was one of the best professors I have come across.

None, On-Campus Internships are for third year undergraduates. As I am in second year, so i didn't sit for on-campus internships/placements now.

In the EE Department the Companies that visited * Schneider Electric *Bajaj Electronics' *Qualcomm *Goldman Sachs * Infosys * SAP Labs Most of the people get placed under coding profile. Some get placed under VLSI, Verilog profile.

Each Hostel Room shared by two persons in the boys' hostel and by four persons in the girl's one. The room size is big enough to be shared by two people. There are 10 Hostels for boys and 2 hostels for girls. Room cleaning is done by the hostel authorities each weekend. The hostel is compulsory for Every Undergraduate, Unless the candidate lives in the same city, then he/she can apply for a day-boarder.
